this stuff is complicated. and finding experts is hard. and i was happy to help them naturally. never. when i had a client involved, my firm had a client involved or an interest involved. and dan spent an awful lot of time on this. you presumably have to, but but you ve got a day job as well to do. and those sort of pressures in a newsroom around getting a daily story going and getting something over the line. it s harder to get these kind of stories over the line. you know, journalists are under pressure to deliver stories much more regularly than than a story about nadhim zahawi. but these are the ones we remember, of course. yeah. no, that line between, you know, the big investigations and the daily reporting that helps you think about what is worth investigating is really hard to draw. i mean, i started my work looking at the cabinets because this isn t the only tax story i ve written about a member of the cabinet. i started really closely examining the tax affairs and the finances
